Welcome to LocalLLaMA! Here we discuss running and developing machine learning models at home. Lets explore cutting edge open source neural network technology together.
Get support from the community! Ask questions, share prompts, discuss benchmarks, get hyped at the latest and greatest model releases! Enjoy talking about our awesome hobby.
As ambassadors of the self-hosting machine learning community, we strive to support each other and share our enthusiasm in a positive constructive way.
Rules:
Rule 1 - No harassment or personal character attacks of community members. I.E no namecalling, no generalizing entire groups of people that make up our community, no baseless personal insults.
Rule 2 - No comparing artificial intelligence/machine learning models to cryptocurrency. I.E no comparing the usefulness of models to that of NFTs, no comparing the resource usage required to train a model is anything close to maintaining a blockchain/ mining for crypto, no implying its just a fad/bubble that will leave people with nothing of value when it burst.
Rule 3 - No comparing artificial intelligence/machine learning to simple text prediction algorithms. I.E statements such as "llms are basically just simple text predictions like what your phone keyboard autocorrect uses, and they're still using the same algorithms since <over 10 years ago>.
Rule 4 - No implying that models are devoid of purpose or potential for enriching peoples lives.

Even hobbies have grind parts that you might as well get some help on.
True, like the html and css parts. lol
You just gave me a wonderful idea. I wonder if I might be able to play Skyrim... Usually, every time I go to play Skyrim, I spend three weeks modding it and then play for about a day and stop. I don't think I've ever actually played Skyrim...
In most hobbies, skipping the grind means making no progress. Of course, for some, the illusion of progress may be enough. I guess the question is, which parts will you actually be doing yourself.
Mmm... Nah, i fully disagree.
Hobby doesnt mean grindy. I very much prefer my power tools when woodworking, to manually saw, dust and chisel wood...
Same thing here, using AI is the power tools of woodworking.
I would never build furniture by manually sawing boards. Very much prefer to power cut and save that grind time to paint a second layer or build an extra piece.
Really, the boring grind adds nothing. Now, there is grind that adds value by taking time, and sometimes it's what you look for into hobbies. Time consume.
Just, sometimes not.
